On the sixth attempt to connect to port 22 within 60 seconds, that IP is rejected. It is simple to modify. Don't ask me much about it, I'm no expert on iptables ;-)
That's ok, I barely understand it. I am looking at the SuSEfirewall2-custom file and am a little confused. The text at the top says there is no help and I can accept that. I suppose I just plug in custom rules in the places where I want them to happen. The last item in each section is "true". Is this always there regardless whether I have custom rules in that section? should it always be true?
What I do is modify one of the existing functions. Yes, the last line there reads "true". I assume that will be the exitcode of the function, but I really don't know, I haven't examined it. Ah, you have to enable the script in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2: FW_CUSTOMRULES="/etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom" And of course, reload the firewall with "SuSEfirewall2". - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEK/I3tTMYHG2NR9URAlf8AJ4i6GgXbq+5GbIW+Jzl1tPRuZSpWwCffH5T ncQUGJE0EXjWXrcfYatBXpM= =qBY3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
